Advance Praise for Jackson's Way "I enjoyed it very much. It’s an excellent study . . . of an area and a time period too long neglected by historians . . . provides valuable new information, particularly on the Indians."–Robert Remini, author of The Life of Andrew Jackson "John Buchanan has written a book that explodes with action and drama on virtually every page.

This is an American saga, brilliantly told by a master of historical narrative."–Thomas Fleming, author of Duel: Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, and the Future of America Praise for John Buchanan’s The Road to Guilford Courthouse "Outstanding popular military history . . . an accomplishment of the same high order as . . .
